NZ Motor Industry Training Organisation (MITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published August 2015
Planned review date December 2020
Summary
MITO’s Extractives Governance Group and Mine Surveying Working Group, which include elected representation from industry and Tertiary Education Organisations, considered the content of these unit standards in conjunction with the development of new New Zealand Certificate for mine surveying.
The review also considered recommendations by the recently appointed New Zealand Mining Board of Examiners. The Board of Examiners advises the WorkSafe board about the health and safety competency requirements for workers in the extractives industry – a key recommendation of the Royal Commission on the Pike River Tragedy. These competency requirements include standards from the Extractives Industries subfield relevant to mine surveying.
The review of these standards has resulted in updated outcomes and evidence requirements that reflect current industry practice.
The Governance Group has endorsed the changes made to the standards.
Main changes
Unit standards 17742 and 17745 were replaced by new unit standard 29087.
The last date for assessment of superseded versions of these standards is 31 December 2017. Results will not be accepted where the assessment date is after the last date for assessment of the superseded version of the standard.
Category C unit standards will expire at the end of December 2017
